"The whole army is attacking the city, whoever dares to retreat will be killed immediately!"

With Zhang Yan's order, the ant-colony-like Black Mountain thieves launched the most fierce attack on Dingxiang City, and the 60,000 or 70,000 troops surrounded the city and began to carry out a crazy siege war.

Although 10,000 horses were allocated to meet Hao Zhao, 10,000 horses to meet Wang Ling, and 10,000 soldiers were killed in the previous siege battle, but with the help of 40,000 horses from Yu Poison, Bai Huan, Lei Gong, Qianggen, Wulu, Zuo Xiao and other departments, the number of Montenegrin troops besieging the city did not fall but rose, and the number of people besieging the city reached 80,000, almost fifteen times the defenders at the head of the city, and the battle was unprecedentedly tragic.

Since the last time the Montenegrin army attacked the city, it rained in Dingxiang for four or five consecutive days, and it was not until a few days ago that the Montenegrin troops who were ordered to come to the aid gathered under the city one after another to accept Zhang Yan's dispatch. Seeing that the weather was gradually clear, Zhang Yan ordered to attack the city with all his might, striving to break through Dingxiang in one fell swoop, behead Tianyu, and slaughter the people, so as to avenge the hatred of the lost soldiers!

The sound of drums shook the sky, and the sound of killing shook the ground.

The horn sounded incessantly, and the walls of the city turned into a meat grinder, and the ant-like Black Mountain sergeants, under the supervision of the officers, carried the ladder across the moat and climbed towards the city. The flesh and blood were greeted by arrows like raindrops, rolling stones the size of human heads, and thick pillar-like wooden pieces with iron nails nailed to them......

Everywhere the arrows went, there was a "poof" sound of flesh penetrating, accompanied by hysterical screams, and the arrows fell to the ground, either into the moat, or fell to the blades on the ground, and were once again pierced through a bloody hole. A fountain of blood gushes out, and the tragic condition is unbearable......

The soldier who was hit by the huge rolling stone, or had gold stars in his eyes, or spat blood in his mouth, his eyes were black, his limbs were suddenly weak, and he fell straight from the ladder of four or five feet to the ground, and his helmet fell without a trace, and then he landed solidly, and his head fell on the stone or iron tool. The white brains suddenly splattered......

More than an hour of onslaught. The moat under Dingxiang City has been dyed red by blood, and the corpses under the city wall are piled up in stacks, with broken limbs and headless corpses. Mutilated human heads. It's all over the place. This scene is as bloody as the Shura Slaughterhouse!

And the situation in the city is not much better, the Montenegrin army is outnumbered and killed. While some people fell, others approached the bottom of the city wall and fired arrows at the wall, and those who could not dodge were hit one after another; There are even more fierce and fearless soldiers who climbed the city wall and started a white-knuckle battle with the defenders at the head of the city, and the corpses were like cutting wheat, one after another, falling one by one!

From the early morning to noon, the black mountain thieves have been under the city to lay thousands of corpses, and the city head of the army and civilians also have more than 1,500 bloody deaths, with the passage of the war, the number of defenders of the city gradually decreased, there are less than 5,000 people, arrows are getting fewer and fewer, rolling stones and wood are also sparse......

Seeing that the defense of the city was weakening, Zhang Yan personally beat the drum, urging the whole army to attack the city with all their might, and today swore to break the decision and slaughter all the creatures in the city.

Under Zhang Yan's coercion and instigation, the Montenegrin army drummed up Yu Yong again, shouted in unison, and launched an overwhelming attack towards the city!

"Hold on, you must hold on, in a few days, reinforcements from Hanoi will arrive!"

Tian Yu was fully clothed, with a sword in one hand and a spear in the other, fighting bloodily in the city, doing his best to boost morale.

"The thieves will slaughter the city after breaking the city, let's help Lord Taishou defend the city!"

At the critical moment, Jun Cheng organized a team of more than 3,000 people to climb the city wall to help, including white-haired old men in their sixties and seventies, children in their thirteen years, and women in their twenties and thirties. Although the combat effectiveness of this team is negligible, it is better than nothing, and it can finally hold back the offensive of some thieves a little.

Just when the main force of the Black Mountain thieves was trying their best to attack Dingxiang, the two reinforcements Hao Zhao and Wang Ling, who saw that Dingxiang was in danger, also tried to get closer to the city, striving to enter the city and help defend the city.

It was only blocked by the generals under the command of Wang Dang and Sun Qing Zhang Yan, and their own troops were far behind, and it was difficult to break through the resistance of the thieves, so they could only try their best to cover up and kill, echoing with the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Wang Dang led 10,000 men and was responsible for intercepting Wang Ling's troops. Although the number of thieves was large, the discipline was chaotic, the equipment was backward, and in the face of 3,000 officers and soldiers, it was a draw.

But for the Montenegrin army, being able to prevent the officers and soldiers from approaching Dingxiang City is a victory, so Wang Dang is not in a hurry. With forty or fifty cronies, he immediately stood on a low slope and commanded the Montenegrin army to line up to block the officers and soldiers.

In the center of the Yuan army's array, the banner of the word "Wang" was waving in the wind, Wang Ling stood on his horse, his eyebrows were frowning, and he looked anxiously at Dingxiang City in the distance, I don't know how long the defenders can hold out?

"Brother, today's thieves are attacking Dingxiang with all their might, the city is already in danger, if you can't break Wang Dang in a short time, I'm afraid Tian Taishou is in danger!"

A young lieutenant riding a jujube red horse, carrying a single-edged halberd, with a clear complexion, seven feet eight inches tall, and about sixteen or seventeen years old, said loudly to Wang Ling.

"Alas, I can also see that Zhang Yan is out of the way today, and he wants to take Dingxiang at all costs. I also wanted to break through the siege and enter the city to reinforce Tian Yu, but I was entangled by Wang Dang's men and horses, and I couldn't get over for a while! Wang Ling stroked his beard and said with a worried face.

The single-edged halberd in the young man's hand pointed to Wang Dang on the low slope not far away, and said to Wang Ling in a loud voice: "Brother, look, that Wang Dang is breaking through to watch the battle, he has put all the soldiers into the battlefield, and there are only forty or fifty soldiers around him. As the saying goes, capture the thief before the king, ask my brother to lend me a hundred cavalry, and I will go around the back of the valley to the back of the king to attack him! ”

"The valley?" Wang Ling asked suspiciously.

The young man nodded, pointed to a small valley to the west with his weapon, and said confidently: "I have quietly explored the road in the past few nights, along this valley to the west, walk seven or eight miles, there will be a fork in the road, along the way to the end, you can go around to the back of this low slope where Wang Dang is, and the terrain is even higher, launching a surprise attack will inevitably catch Wang Dang off guard!" ”

"In this case, Berji should lead his troops to go, but you must be careful, if the sneak attack fails, withdraw quickly, and then make a plan, don't fall in love with war!"

After listening to the young man's words, Wang Ling nodded and agreed, and allocated the hundred cavalry under his command to the young man, ordering him to try a sneak attack.

With a whistle and a wave of his single-edged halberd, the boy led a hundred knights to the west, quickly burrowed into the valley, and disappeared into the vast barren mountains, never to be seen again.

Although the slope where Wang Dang is located is not high, it is also higher than the battlefield where the two armies are facing each other, so the situation in Wang Ling's formation on the opposite side can be seen clearly. The young man led his troops west into the valley, and was also seen by Wang Dang, but he thought it was an officer and soldier who took the opportunity to slip away, so he didn't take it to heart.

Wang Ling's army came from the south, Wang Dang met from the north to the south, and five or six miles behind was the main force of the Montenegrin army, so Wang Dang was not worried about his own safety; threw all the 10,000 troops in his hands into the battlefield, leaving only fifty-six cronies around him to protect him.

Anyway, they are the Montenegrin army in front and behind, and they are not afraid of any danger, if the officers and soldiers want to get close to them, they must first break through the 10,000 soldiers in front of them, is it possible that they can fly over with wings?

After the young man went for half an hour, he was about to touch Wang Dang's back at this moment, and Wang Ling quietly gave an order to let the soldiers fight and retreat, pretending to be invincible, in order to paralyze Wang Dang's vigilance.

Sure enough, seeing that the officers and soldiers showed signs of retreat, Wang Dang smiled, touched the beard on his chin and said, "Haha...... Although the officers and soldiers are elite, but the troops are insufficient, what can I do? It is estimated that there will be one more meal, and this team will be defeated! ”

As he was talking, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the side, and Wang Dang hurriedly turned his head to check, and was suddenly shocked. I saw a group of 100 officers and soldiers, neatly arrayed, with surging horses' hooves, swooping down from the heights on the side, like a galloping hurricane, menacing and irresistible!

The young general did not answer, and did not say a word from beginning to end, taking advantage of the panic of Wang Dang and his subordinates, he had already led his troops to rush into their array.

With a halberd in his hand, he stabbed Wang Dang under the horse, then reversed the weapon, and cut down Wang Dang's neck with a blade shaped like a crescent moon on the back.

"The king of thieves is dead, and the rest of the people are not dismounted and surrendered?" The young man held the head of the king, and shouted majestically.

The main general was dead, and these fifty or sixty people were frightened, scurrying like headless flies, and more than half of them were killed by the official army, and only a dozen horsemen fled north in panic, looking for the main army, and reported the death of Wang Dang.

"Pick up the enemy's horn and sound the horn to collect the troops!"

The young man hung Wang Dang's head in front of his horse, waved his hand and personally cut off the Black Mountain Flag and the big banner with the word "Wang", and then ordered the soldiers to blow the horn of the army.

The Black Mountain thieves were fighting with the officers and soldiers, and there was a sudden chaos behind them, the flag was cut down, and the horn of the troops sounded, and they suddenly panicked, not knowing what was going on behind them?

These thieves were originally a rabble, with no military discipline, and suddenly they made a mess, and nearly 10,000 people broke away one after another, trampling on each other in a panic, trampling hundreds of people to death. Wang Ling took the opportunity to cover up and kill, cut melons and vegetables, and generally harvested people's heads, and killed more than 2,000 Black Mountain thieves in a short time, and those who ran slowly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, about 1,000 people or so.

Wang Ling was about to accept the surrender of these thieves, but the young general had already ridden down the hill and reminded loudly: "Brother, these people are just a fake surrender in desperation, not sincerely. Our army is weak, can't restrain them, the main force of the Black Mountain thieves is not far from the city, and later they will sneak back to join the main force, taking advantage of the fact that these thieves are captured and have no power to resist, they should be cut down and eradicated, all of them should be killed, and the living force of the Black Mountain thieves should be eliminated!
